MANcHEsTERs, Z; PoRTLANDs, 3.
Contrary to the general expectation the
Manchesters won yesterdays game from the
Portlands by good batting and sharp field
ing, while the Portlands were off in the mat
ter Of fielding and couldn't hit the ball with
any effect. The Manchesters presented M.
McDermOtt In the box and Small pitched for
the Portlands. Both did well but McDer-
mott bore of the hOnOrs of the day. Five
little hits were all the Portlands could get
The POrtlands started off with a run in the
first inning. Andrus getting his base on
balls, stealing second and scoring on passed
ball and wild throw by the catcher. In
the third inning hits by Thayer and DAWN
and wild pitch and wild throw by the
pitcher gave the Portlands two more runs,
the last they got for the game. The Man
chesters earned two runs in the second in
giles by Canayan, Dunn and COughlin. In
the sixth inning with the score three to two
in favor of the Portlands, DickersOn, who
has bad thumb, muffed fly, and hit by
NJ. McDermott tied the score. The Port
lands gave the game away in the seventh in
ming, Hatfield making wild throw and
DAWN muffing an easy fly. This netted the
ManchesterS two runs. In the eighth Dunn
got his base on balls and while he was on
first with two out, Scheffer put the ball over
the left field fence. This increased the score
Of the visitors beyond the reach Of the Port
lands and the latter had TO acknowledge a
defeat. For the Portlands Thayer caught
finely and led at the bat. Lufberry took ey-
cry chance at short. DickersOn's two err
rors were due entirely to his sore hand
Scheffier played a good field for the Man
chesters. Umpire Phinney gave a pretty
poor exhibition and the Manehesters got the
best end of it. Dickerson was fined So for
remark which he says was addressed to the
catcher. not to the umpire. The score:

DON'T BE FUssY.
A Lesson in Practical Poiiteness- De-
monstrativeness Not Good Breeding.

Little things may betray mans lack of
good breeding, or prove that he has been
well instructed in the code of politeness, OBJ
serves the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
"Table Talk" has noted the fact that few
men appear to know that if they are com
PEELED to crowd by ladies in the theatre, or
any public place, it is the height of rude
ness TO turn their backs on them. This fec
ture in the code of politeness is often ig-
nored by those who are most particular in
the parlor if they pass in front of woman
ten feet away, to say. Excuse mel" What
does that all mean, any way. and OF what
old form Of etiquette is 1t survlyalp Again,
one will see young men who claim to be po-
lite-and who do Try to be-meet young
women on the street, stop them, converse a
while, and then go on, leaving them to go
their way. a woman who submits to this
rudenesS is TO be sure greenhorn herself.
Ii gentleman meets lady on the street
and wishes to converse with her he will of
course turn and join her, walking with her
as far as he has time or inclination to do so.
Then. too, young man, II you are calling on
lady. and have finished your call, rise,
wish the lady good morning or evening, as
stand and keep on saying. ''Well, must go
now, guess" and edge off to the front hall
expecting your friend to follow; for if she
knows what is what, she will for
mally. bow you out of the .parlor
lcdfC lOu W Scb VI Tic
house the best way you can. Others, instead
of being deficient in politeness, develop a
lack of familiarity with the code by being
superhuously politely saying, "Beg your
pardon" Thanks" "Don't mention IT,"
''After you." Excuse me-" ETC., ETC., in a
series Of endless repetition, and with scarce
ly any warrant. And in this rambling essay
on pOliteness we note also that often when
men try to be polite to a lady. they annoy her
and are really impolite by making her the
subject of too much notice. For instance, in
q church the other day. in pew made to hold
five persons easily, were one woman, at the
end of the pew, and then three men. Soon
modest little woman comes up and seeks
entrance to the pew. Had the first man
moved up, and the other men followed his
example the woman could have quietly and
comfortably taken seat at the head of the
pew. But no, to be l''polite" the first man
rises, picks up his hat and files out into the
aisle; the second man followed suit; the
third-husband Of the woman next to him at
the end of the pew-had to wait to pick up
his silk hat and umbrella, then he flies out to
permit the woman in the aisle to come in and
sit next to woman she never saw, and to
be about as uncomfortably fixed as she could
be in that one pew. OF course divine SER
vice was disturbed; for every person present
felt called upon to watch and see if thatlwo-
man was well seated, and the three men all
got back again in good order. Don't be fussy
and demonstratiye in trying to be polite, for
then you show that you are not well bred.
